YAIA Brisbane Careers in International Affairs
Description
For young people studying international affairs, careers & opportunities can often seem overwhelming but also allusive. In many instances, knowing and connecting with the right person can be the eye-opener to a career one had never considered. Given the diverse paths international relations can take you, and the ever-evolving job market, there has never been a more valuable time for in-depth discussion on the opportunities that lie before Australia’s budding geopolitical stewards. This event will seek to facilitate a panel discussion, reflecting on the speaker’s career experiences, advice & insights into the potential paths people can pursue. This will be followed by a Q&A and networking session to foster those connections.
Further speakers to be confirmed.
